Concert Hall

For more than half a century, Joffrey Ballet has captured the hearts and minds of audiences the world over with its exquisite choreography, expansive repertoire, and an exceptional and inclusive approach to dance. Now, they take our stage to present Body & Soul, a dazzling contemporary dance performance that will take your breath away. This program features Bells, a work choreographed for the Joffrey Ballet by Yuri Possokhov and set to piano music by Rachmaninoff, Crossing Ashland, a physically charged take on the power of desire, choreographed by Brock Clawson as well as as well as Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs. “Balletgoing rarely gets more rewarding, and the [Joffrey] dancers reach for – and often grasp – new levels of achievement.” (Chicago Tribune)
